When I Fall in Love
Marty Gold & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I am living in the past
But when I meet the right one
I know that I'll be true
My first love will be the last
When I fall in love it will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love
Love is ended before it began
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
Or I'll never, never, never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I give my heart to you
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I give my heart to you
The lyrics to "When I Fall in Love" by Marty Gold & His Orchestra express a longing for a love that will last forever, even in a modern and unpredictable world. The song reflects a sense of traditional values and ideals, with the singer acknowledging that they might be considered old-fashioned or living in the past. However, they firmly believe that when they meet the right person, their love will be true and unending. The lyrics convey a sense of commitment and devotion, emphasizing the importance of finding a love that will stand the test of time.
The chorus of the song reinforces this sentiment, stating that when the singer falls in love, it will be forever, or they will never fall in love at all. In a world that often seems restless and transient, where love often ends before it even truly begins, the singer desires a love that will endure. They mention the ephemeral nature of many romantic encounters, where the passion and excitement of moonlit kisses can fade in the harsh light of reality.
Ultimately, the lyrics suggest that the singer's heart can only be given completely and trustingly when they feel a reciprocal depth of feeling from their partner. It is the moment when they can sense that the other person feels the same way too, that they are willing to open themselves up to a lifelong commitment and give their heart completely.
